Premier League
Chelsea has decided to accelerate the search for a new goalkeeper and has a clear target: Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez. The Argentine goalkeeper from Aston Villa is the chosen one by the Blues' board, who would be willing to pay around 52 million euros to secure his services, as revealed by the Daily Mirror newspaper this Sunday.
The deal doesn't seem far-fetched considering that the Birmingham club needs to generate income due to Financial Fair Play reasons. From Villa Park, they understand that selling the World Cup champion could ease their financial situation and, at the same time, allow them to reinvest in other areas of the squad.
One of the best Premier League goalkeepers
At Stamford Bridge, they have been searching for a reliable goalkeeper for some time, as neither Robert Sánchez nor the young Jorgensen have fully convinced. Martínez's presence fits perfectly into the profile that Maresca seeks: experience, leadership, and security between the posts.
Furthermore, one of the main advocates for his signing would be Willy Caballero, the former Argentine goalkeeper who is part of Chelsea's coaching staff and who knows firsthand the potential of Aston Villa's current goalkeeper.
Manchester United has also been mentioned as a possible destination for Dibu, and reports from his country suggest that this option particularly appeals to him. However, at this point, Chelsea has taken the lead and seems determined to close the deal as soon as possible.
